Crystal Palace lead the race for Sidibe signing

Crystal Palace are leading the race to sign Djibril Sidibe this summer, according to L’Equipe, via Get French Football News.

The Monaco right-back has been the subject of interest from a number of clubs, including West Ham.

It is Palace who currently look the most likely to snap up the 27-year-old, however, as they look to fill the void left by Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has joined Manchester United.

Both the Eagles and West Ham are believed to be hesitant about making a bid, though, due to concerns about Sidibe’s knee.

Monaco are demanding €15 million for the defender’s services – a relatively small amount, given his pedigree.

Sidibe won the 2018 World Cup with France, although he wasn’t a fixture in the side during the tournament in Russia.

He also starred for Monaco when they sealed Ligue 1 glory back in 2016/17 and has made 113 appearances for them overall.
